Imaginary Diva won this a year ago but hasn't scored since, though has dropped to a mark just 1lb higher. LUNARIAN has had a quiet time of it and was making her handicap debut at Brighton last week when making all in a moderate contest. There should be more to come and a penalty is reduced by Charles Bishop's claim so she can complete a quick double. Bubbly Bailey has only won once in 24 starts and that was on Polytrack while Captain Scooby hasn't been successful since April last year and has had numerous opportunities. Neither of Christine Dunnett's pair, Give Us A Belle and Danzoe, have been running well lately.
